Marilyn and Leopoldo Kahn During our life in Peru and coming to the US, the synagogue has been central to our life. We had a sense of belonging and being part of the tradition chain that connected us with our ancestors, who lived and grew in Europe. We want our children and grandchildren to know the importance of their Jewish identity and their connection to the Synagogue life and worship. We decided to express this by leaving a legacy to the Synagogues that meant so much in our lives.
